After a heavy rain, I found my basement flooded with sewage - a nasty, smelly mess. Sewer backup safety means knowing to avoid direct contact, wear rubber gloves and boots, and disinfect everything later. It's critical to shut off power to affected areas before wading in, since water and electricity don't mix. I now keep a plumber's number handy and check my home's sewer line cleanout regularly.
